Well said
-
I've not said a single thing that I haven't already said to Dewey's "face".
In some people's opinion, he may be a great person. That, I do not know. What I do know, is that he is an apostate preacher.
And I'll be happy to go round and round with him on that, right here. Right now.

I really dislike the tendency of disparaging people who are no longer participants here. It's really easy to take a swipe at someone with whose views/positions/politics/personality you disagree with.
They're gone.
Accept that and, dare I say, move on.
I used to participate on another forum that started dumping on a person who was not even on that forum. I found it distasteful to attack him/her when s/he had no place to reply.
Don't speak ill of the (figurative) dead, especially when they've been gone for years.
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@axtremus said in The circular firing squad:
I have met KathyK and Jack Front in person. I have also met KathyK's new beau, I believe it was at one of @jon-nyc's piano parties. I have also met David Burton. Sure we disagree at times on politics or conspiracy theories, but we got along pretty damn fine when we talk about music and piano, family and such.
I think if we were all in a big pile, "all" including everyone... there would be several here who think I'm an asshole who would go home later saying "actually he turned out to be a very nice guy, a lot of fun." A few others would go home saying "I wanted to hit him but i wouldnt have lived long enough to tell anyone about it".....
And I would enjoy everyone of you with the following exceptions: the instant I saw Kathy K I would slap her unconscious and there's not enough of you to stop me. Jack Frost and Andy D would either leave the minute they saw me, or at the very least just get real quiet in hopes that they got out alive. I'd get along fine with Ax as long as he did t start one of those epileptic seizures he calls piano pkaying... but the entire evening I'd be flipping his ears and stuff like that because,.. well, that's just what you do with a guy like Ax.....
Other than those exceptions I'd enjoy everyone...

Dude what are you, 70? The women here could kick your ass.
Lol
I've got news for you. I may be one my way to 70, but I can still pick Ax up and whip Andy's ass with him.....

The assholes are so easy to pick out in this thread.

You know.... if you joined in and actually bothered to get to know us rather than to just use us you too would be able to tell when people have their tongue in their cheek and when they're making a fist. You might figure out that there's not nearly as many fists flying as you think. Hell, it might even teach you how to self reflect, which would result in a new perspective on just who it is thats the asshole.

Indeed. There is nothing to be gained by dredging up old wounds, and much to be lost. Again.

You’re still here and therefore fair game.

Yup. I can take it. Its ok. I know who the good people are and am learning to take and accept their rebuttals. People like you and George though, through our disagreements, you are both people who i am blessed to call friend.

It's not a "tendency", Dewey fucked with me while he was here, was disingenuous and manipulative, and I dislike it. There is not a "tendency", but leaving does not give immunity from comment in the future.

How the hell did a thread about Trump turn into a discussion of a 12 year old thread on this board? Amazing.
FWIW, I think Dewey rocks. Probably in contrast to many of you, I met him personally. It's amazing how many of you judge him based on a few bits of coarse-grained information, without knowing any of the details.

lol, "the details are in the personal meeting". You are a target.
Education is extremely important.

The symmetry of this thread is magnificent. Carry on..
